Chapter 3550: Seize the Opportunity

Sure enough, just as Ye Liuyun expected, soon roars of various ferocious beasts came from all directions in the distance, and then a massive surge of beasts charged toward them.

After a while, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also noticed that this time it wasn't only the Taotie demon beast; other demon beasts arrived as well, and their realms varied—not just Sixth Layer beasts, but beasts from the First through Sixth Layers.

The countless demon beasts rolled in like a tide, covering the sky; although they didn't become dense enough to form a beast tide, the sheer number clearly aimed to wear them out here.

Qiong Qi, set up the Formation!

Ye Liuyun immediately released Qiong Qi, having him first establish a temporary main camp, then release the monster beasts and the many mercenaries, so everyone could kill these demon beasts together.

Everyone seize the opportunity and try to boost their strength. The corpses of slain ferocious beasts must be collected right away, lest the demon beasts eat them and gain power!

The thief cat readied its wind‑thunder fan; once they get close, they'll fan them first. Those of lower realms should wait until a same‑realm demon beast approaches the Formation before acting, and stay close to the Formation…

Ye Liuyun calmly arranged the battle for everyone. Though the demon beasts were many, they were all within his handling range.

When the demon beasts drew near, the Demon Lion first swept the wind‑thunder fan outward fiercely, then Ye Liuyun, Black Panther, Qingshe, Xu Rong, Xiong Tianchuan, the mercenaries, and the Metal Puppet all charged forward to slay.

They gathered the bodies of the beasts taken down by the wind‑thunder fan, then focused on killing the Fourth and Fifth‑Sixth Layer beasts. The other beasts they let go, leaving them for others to finish.

Long Nv and Xiao Lanbing were tasked with using Soul treasures inside the Formation to strike any Fourth‑Sixth Layer beasts that slipped through, or to capture some beasts' souls as cultivation resources.

Chen Yueying, the mastiff, and Lei Ming coordinated attacks on Fourth‑Sixth Layer demon beasts near the Formation, preventing them from damaging it while protecting others' safety. The rest fought suitable beast opponents at the Formation's edge.

After Ye Liuyun led them for a while and blocked the beasts' assault, he split the people into two groups: one to fight, one to rest, rotating them.

The Sealing Demon Tablet went berserk again, continuously smashing down around Ye Liuyun and his companions, absorbing the beasts' power.

Zhu Que and Chi Lian were also in a hurry; such a great battle is their best chance to improve, Zhu Que constantly devoured Yin Soul power, while Chi Lian kept siphoning Bloodline Power around the Formation; both were almost overwhelmed.

The Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, wielding a ninth‑grade demon sword, could also contend with Fourth‑Layer demon beasts, and could even withstand a or two blows from Sixth‑Layer beasts.

Bai Hu and Shi Yuan finally got a chance to fight; they wouldn't return to the Formation until they were completely exhausted.

Two Xuanwu monster beasts also began to stealth‑kill without restraint, causing many beasts that approached the Formation to die mysteriously.

Tang Xinyao and Luo Yu were not to be outdone; whenever a suitable opponent appeared they rushed out to spar. Tang Xinyao's True Essence carries Buddha Light Power, letting her challenge higher‑level beasts.

Even Qiong Qi went out to fight for a while before returning to check the Formation's status.

From this battle, everyone likely gained a lot. Even those who couldn't use the demon beasts could exchange them for cultivation resources.

Ye Liuyun also said that the demon beasts the mercenaries collected after combat belong to them; even if someone can't use them, he'll trade Crystal Stones for them, and the Crystal Stones are already prepared, so once the fight ends they can immediately receive resources to recover.

Thus the mercenaries also seized the chance, actively hoarding cultivation resources for themselves. Ye Liuyun rarely gives them such resources, so they're driven mad and fight with great zeal.

After more than half a day, the fighting group's mercenaries began to run low on True Essence; Ye Liuyun promptly let the other group take over, withdrew them into the Formation, brought them into the Space World, exchanged Crystal Stones for them, allowing accelerated recovery.

Then he went back out to fight himself, needing no rest. He is a combatant

who never uses Divine Core during battle, always reserving it.

These mercenaries hadn't used Crystal Stones in a long time, and each smiled brightly as they instantly recovered True Essence, ready to go out again for more resources.

When his group fully recovered, the other group's True Essence was also nearly depleted. Ye Liuyun immediately swapped them again, still exchanging resources for the withdrawn mercenaries, urging them to train promptly.

"Those demon beasts surely didn't expect they could recover this fast! At this rate they're taking a huge loss!"

Ye Liuyun chuckled inwardly at the demon beasts' miscalculation.

After the demon beasts attacked continuously for three days, they were also puzzled—how could these people recover so quickly? After so many days of fighting, only a few Fourth‑Sixth Layer mercenaries had fallen.

Moreover, the Sealing Demon Tablet that terrified them had even upgraded, reaching the Sixth‑grade tier, so killing it now no longer required Ye Liuyun's cooperation.

In contrast, the number of demon beasts was noticeably fewer, and the beasts that surged forward showed fear in their eyes. If this keeps up, the beasts themselves will go chaotic.

"Aooo!"

The sharp howl of the Taotie rang out, followed by several different ferocious beast roars. All the beasts besieging them finally began to retreat.

"Everyone retreat into the Formation and use the time to restore True Essence. They need to change tactics!"

Ye Liuyun guessed they wouldn't give up just yet; likely they saw brute force failed and decided to alter their strategy.

The others all returned to Ye Liuyun's Space World to quickly regain strength. Ye Liuyun immediately exchanged resources for those mercenaries so they could use them at once.

Zhu Que's realm advanced to the Fourth Layer of Taixu after absorbing massive Yin Soul power.

Chi Lian went back to prepare for breaking through to the Fifth Layer of Taixu. She can still absorb Bloodline Power from demon beasts as usual, and this battle gave her so much pure bloodline beast that her realm kept pushing forward.

The speed at which these monster beasts advanced realms made Chen Yueying stare in awe. She's been fighting hard these past days yet shows no sign of even a minor realm breakthrough.

Ye Liuyun kept observing the surroundings while chatting casually with Qiong Qi, studying possible attack methods the demon beasts might devise.

Qiong Qi guessed on the side, "Could it be a beast tide impact?"

"Very possible!" Ye Liuyun agreed, noting that now the beasts are fewer, their movement space larger, so they might form a beast tide to strike, divide, surround, and eliminate them.
